Mazda’s most controversial legend is back—and it’s not just nostalgia. In this video, we break down how Mazda officially rebooted rotary development on February 1, 2024, forming a dedicated RE Development Group with 36 engineers focused on making the rotary meet modern emissions rules and hybrid demands. You’ll learn why the rotary disappeared (fuel economy, emissions, apex seal wear), and why Mazda’s new strategy is smarter: using the rotary as a range-extender generator, proven in the MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV. We also explore the Iconic SP concept’s two-rotor hybrid setup and Mazda’s push toward carbon-neutral fuels, plus the big question: can a rotary-powered sports car actually return to production?
